Ok, I am no wimp. I grew up on a farm, worked in construction and was in the military. But the last couple of years, it seems I constantly get hurt no matter what level of exercise I do. I have chronic pain and seem to be able to hurt myself quite easily all of a sudden. I sometimes wonder if this is because I worked to hard when I was young and was lifting more than I should have, and now I have long-term injuries heading into middle-age. When I was a kid, as young as 8, I could carry more than my weight in hay, grain, rocks, bricks, construction material. Now I have to pick up some advil if I want to move the next day..and this is carrying much lighter items. I think I just used myself up and I am afraid I am going to wind up a fragile old man.
